AWAPUNI GALLOPS

WINDING UP FOR EASTER. , (By “Binocular.”) The rain of yesterday had made little appreciable difference to the tracks at iuvapuni and the going was in consequence good this morning, the plough being far from heavy. The majority of the local horses claiming Easter engagements at I'eikL ing, Wairarapa and Waipukurau were sent along in their work-outs, several gallops being carried out on the course proper. Grand Acre, Malahat and Broad Acre were associated in a five furlong gallop on the plough, the task being accomplished in 1.7. Grand Acre did not finish quite so well as the other pair. ■ . Hunting Boy, who goes to Wairarapa, had the King . Mark—Valerie gelding Tane, who is incidentally a half-brother to Valpre, by Chief Ruler, as a companion over half a mile on the course proper. Hunting Boy had the measure of his partner at the close. Homo Made (A. G. Murray) and !Atareria (C. Broughton) were practically on terms at the end of a mile run in 1.48 4-5, Desert Lad being beaten off. The first named pair will compete in the Ladies’ Bracelet at Waipukurau, but Desert Lad will go to Feilding. Aurora Borealis (A. G. Murray) ran away from Benmure (C. Broughton) at the end of a five furlong gallop on the plough which occupied 1.9. The latter 6till shows his old habit of declining to gallop when once he lands into the straight. Imperial Spark ran sfeven furlongs on the plough alone in 1.35, the Crown Imperial II gelding giving a better display than he produced on Tuesday morning. He will duly take liis place in the Wairarapa Cup field. Fee Simple, who is looking none the worse for, his trip to the West Coast, did a round on the plough at a steady pace without being asked to extend himself. Inflame, with K. Voitre up, jumped off at the straight six furlong post off the course proper to run the six furlongs in 1.17, the Lord Quex gelding finishing stronger than usual. Callanmore (K. Voitre) got the better of the jump out over Keddar (R. G. Stratton) to lead the Arrowsmith gelding home, the five furlongs being left behind in the smart time of 1.4 2-5. Callanmore goes to Tauhcrenikau and Keddar to Feilding. Sky rider (Voitre) jumped off at the mile post on the course proper to do the circuit in 1.44 J. ■ It was a good effort on the part of the Day Comet mare. She does not claim any immediate engagements. Dobbin (Mackie) strode home ahead of Kilorell (K. Robinson) and Tenure (K. Voitre) at the end of four furlongs on the course proper. Dobbin got the best of the jump out, but was held back to Tenure until half way home when he was shaken up to hold off Kilorell, who finished strongly from well hack. The half mile was left behind in 62isec. Novar, Son o’ Mine, Mister Gamp, Marcellus, Adventus, Sporting Chance, Archeria, Commendation, Killogie, Puwhero, Elicit, Tiega, Grand National, Goldlike, Black Acre, Moutoa Fume, Hillation and others fulfilled easy tasks, not being asked to gallop. i

THE JUMPERS. Locarno (A. McDonald) and lledbank (C. Robinson) were the first of the jumping brigade to figure over the battens after breakfast, the pair giving a splendid exhibition over five fences. Hymestrason (C. Robinson) had Wyeford as a companion over a Tound of three fences. Hymestrason jumped away the smarter, but Wyeford was alongside at the first hurdle and they kept together till the final fence where Hymestrason drew clear. Mountain Crag, who is better known as a steeplechaser, and who is now an inmate of Mrs McDonald’s establishment, was sent over the battens with Ruyonne, an All Red gelding- from L. Knapp’s stable, but the pace was not on at any stage. RIDING ENGAGEMENTS. Ridiing engagements additional to those already announced are : —Red bank at Feuding: L. Jarvis. Home Made at Waipukurau: Mr J. Morris. Atareria at Waipukurau: Mr H. Dods. In addition to Malahat and Briar Root, A. G. Murray will also have the mount on Fee Simple at Feilding prior to departing for Riccarton where he will pilot Seatown, Phastar, Desert Song and Moy Hall on Monday. C. Broughton has been engaged for Desert Lad, Grand Acre and Jeanette at Feilding. W. Broughton will .also be in attendance at the same fixture for Saturday, but will journey through to Waipukurau for the- Hawke’s Bayfixture on the Monday. K. Voitre, whose mounts at Tauherenikau include Callanmore and Tenure, will go on to Riccarton for the C.J.C. meeting which opens on Monday. In addition to doing the light riding for Sir George Clifford’s team, he may possibly have the mount on Rameses in the Great Easter Handicap.

FEILDING RACES. The rain which fell last night will have a beneficial effect on the Feilding racecourse and the track should bo in first-class order for Saturday’s racing. The gardens and turf presented a very refreshed appearance this morning, and with -nothing untoward in the way of bad Easter weather a successful meeting should await the club. Horses are slowly beginning to arrive, but it is expected that the bulk of them will be in Feilding to-night. Among the new arrivals at present are Atholspear, Spearmiss and Fair One. Ninety horses have been entered for engagements on the first day of the meeting, this figure being approximately the same as at the last Easter meeting. WORK AT ELLERSLIE. Per Press Association.
